Really neat idea. Basically, you join a network of sighted volunteers who answer video calls from blind people to help them in situations only sight can help.
High volunteer to blind ratio, so apparently it can take a few weeks to get a call. When I first logged in it was about 136k blind to 2 million sighted.
Really excited to get my first call.
Saw you posting about that. That's a really cool idea.
edit
nevermind I misunderstood how it worked.
Do you see now?Quote:

I guess I’m the only a$$hole whose mind immediately went to the potential for evil pranks.
The thought of gett8ng a few laughs at the expense of blind people is lame.
Wow, a joke really rubbed you the wrong way. Not even a joke, just the suggestion of the possibility of a joke (and even with the caveat of being an a$$hole for thinking it). Most comedic sketches do, in fact, get a few laughs at the expense of another group of people, with the underlying understanding that it’s just that - comedy, and not a real attack on those people. I humbly apologize for offending your sensibilities.Quote:
